You enjoy the game of Cricket, but you have many other interests. Not for you staying up all night watching the qualifiers during the World Cup, though you will probably stay up for the final if your team makes it. You are right of cause there are so many other things out there, it just doesnít make sense to devote so much time to a game.

How did you find this page? I bet if I ask; name a game that uses a bat and ball? You would answer Baseball. If I ask what do the letters LBW stand for? You would answer Large Black Women. When ever someone mentions they play Cricket you say things like ĎFlannelled Fools, and how can you play that boring gameí. You probably think a Googly is a search engine. Well us Cricket Tragics feel sorry for you and all those like you. You, you, But wait Iím sorry I still want to help you, please log on to CW and ask lots of questions we are only to happy to show off our Cricket knowledge, and just maybe you will eventually join the winning team, the CW team.

Only a bunch of convicts having been beaten 3-0 and gone 9 tests without a win and won just 1 in 11 against England could go into the home series saying they will win. England will win in Australia again this winter as they are a better side which they have shown this summer. 3-0 doesn't lie girls.
